Rapid Recovery Rehabilitation program

When Knee or Hip Arthritis cannot be prevented or treated with conservative means then joint replacement ( Arthroplasty) is suggested. Joint Replacement can nowadays be performed with smaller incisions, with no need for blood transfusion, with partial replacement, with the assistance of robots. All these are combined with a Rapid Recovery Rehabilitation program that allows the patient to walk a few hours after the operation and be discharged the next day which is totally different from the classic approach that requires big incisions, blood loss, pain and prolonged hospitalization.
